Finnish President Alexander Stubb is playing chess. Donald Trump is playing checkers. Trump needs help securing the Strait of Hormuz in his dumb war with Iran and needs help from the very people he’s been demonising since his first term. Stubb has the perfect reaction to Trump’s bullying.

Ukrainians are learning the hard way that their proximity to whiteness that has long protected them from American-style law enforcement abuse is no longer valid in Trump’s xenophobic America. Being profiled because of your status, how you look or a presumed criminal record was reserved for Black people and those south of the U.S. border. Now, with ICE aggressively targeting anyone who isn’t American enough or who has an accent or whoever Trump feels is a threat to U.S. security, Ukrainians are feeling what Black people have always understand about America: that being “legal” and doing everything “the right way” will not protect you. This is my latest piece that breaks down how racial authoritarianism hurts them and why they need to fight it, along with Black people who have been there and done that. https://open.substack.com/pub/terrellstarr/p/ukranians-are-on-the-menu-too?r=bwzo&utm_medium=ios
